This February Periwinkle Cinema is doing it again! Flagging is greatly encouraged! We will have free popcorn and some super sexy door prizes. Bring your friends and lovers 18+ NOTAFLOF. Hanky Code The Movie
Before Internet dating and hookup apps, The Handkerchief code was largely used by gay men in the 1970’s to distinguish sexual preferences and fetishes in gay clubs and on the streets of places like San Francisco and New York. In Hanky Code: The Movie, Periwinkle Cinema, San Francisco’s queer experimental film collective brings Queer and Trans filmmakers across a spectrum of genres, styles, genders, and locations to dissect the code in this epic anthology feature comprised of 25 short films! Each filmmaker or
film making team tells a story of a different color/fetish of the code. Films range from narrative to experimental to erotic and animated, with many films redefining the traditional code with colors, patterns, and fetishes up to creative interpretation of the artist. 84 MinFilms Include:

After-glowing from Valentine’s, this orgy of audiovisual pleasure is anchored by Lori Varga’s multile-projection of a pair of sex-positive pieces–Don’t Stop Doing It and Your Flesh Is My Flesh, the latter premiere accompanied by Colleen Kelly on looped cello! Lori’s multiple screens leads us to the polymorphous Narcissister, the acrobatic chameleon who masks her face and bares her breasts in an ever-transforming body-art burlesque (seen in a 10-min clip from the Dirty Looks Roadshow). ALSO a rare look at Barbara Hammer’s SFSU-period Dyketactics, and the debuts of Natalie Tsui’s Images of Rapture, Lana Caplan’s Mating Calland Josh Harper’s Fertility. PLUS Mark Street’s Blue Movie, Julia Ostertag’s SexJunkie, and a clip of John Holmes in the ultra-cult Aphrodisiac–one of 4 Sex-Ed cine-tracts that we’re drawing from tonight! Come early for lab out-takes from Broughton’s The Bed (and Jack Smith in bed with Gerard Malanga)…and of course–beefcakes, cheesecakes, and free condoms, and champagne galore! $7
